An air inlet header provides a converging air inlet plenum that is situated adjacent one side of the battery cell units and an air outlet header provides a diverging air outlet plenum that is situated adjacent an opposite side of the battery cell units. A blower or fan forces air into the air inlet plenum. The air flows through the air flow spaces between the battery cell units to cool the battery cell units. The speed of the air increases as it advances through the air inlet plenum and the plurality of air flow spaces. | 03-31-2011 |

| 20100217329 | BONE SCREW - There are disclosed embodiments of screws for use in orthopedic surgery, particularly in pediatric patients. In some embodiments, inner and outer implantable members are provided, with the outer implantable member threadable on the inner implantable member to provide compression on two or more bone parts. In some embodiments, screw members are provided with a threaded shaft, and the thread continues into the head of the screw member to enable the thread to remain in pediatric bone. | 08-26-2010 |
| 20100222891 | MODULAR IMPLANT SYSTEM WITH FULLY POROUS COATED SLEEVE - A modular knee implant system allows a surgeon to select between several different styles of distal femoral implant components and several different styles of stem extensions while also allowing for use of a metaphyseal component. The metaphyseal component can be a universal one that is usable with all of the styles of distal femoral implant components through use of an adapter. A second adapter allows for use of stem extensions with different types of connectors with the metaphyseal component. A separate metaphyseal component could also be provided with a distal Morse taper post to mate with a distal femoral component having a proximal Morse taper bore. The metaphyseal component may have an outer surface that is configured to maximize contact area with the patient's bone, and may have a surface finish over a substantial part of its overall length that is conducive to bone ingrowth. | 09-02-2010 |

| 20090035426 | CARBOXYMETHYL CELLULOSE-BASED FILMS AND EDIBLE FOOD CASINGS MADE THEREFROM - An edible film useful for applying a flavoring additive to a food item is disclosed. The edible film generally includes an edible carboxymethyl cellulose film-forming resin and an edible plasticizer. The carboxymethyl cellulose film-forming resin is preferably a blend of two different carboxymethyl celluloses having different molecular weights. The edible film preferably includes additional additives, for example an edible surfactant and an edible tackifier. The edible film can suitably accept a food flavoring ingredient to form a flavored film that can be used to apply a flavor to a food item. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090162516 | EDIBLE, WATER-SOLUBLE FILM - An improvement in water-soluble polysaccharide films, such as pullulan films, by inclusion of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) in the film is disclosed herein. The films exhibit surprisingly improved physical properties such as tear strength, and retain good water-solubility. The films optionally include other additives such as gelatin, plasticizers, and surfactants. Methods of making the films include first dissolving the polysaccharide polymer, such as pullulan, in water, heating the solution, next admixing gelatin, then CMC, and then optional ingredients including plasticizers and more water if desired. | 06-25-2009 |

| 20110295221 | STOMA SUPPORT PLATE AND HARNESS - A stoma support plate and harness includes a support plate including a body, an aperture and a harness fastener; and a harness including at least one plate fastener and a closure. A method of supporting an ostomy skin barrier includes the steps of: providing a support plate including a body, an aperture and a harness fastener; placing the support plate over an ostomy skin barrier such that the ostomy skin bag opening and adaptor are accessible through the support plate aperture; and securing the support plate against the ostomy skin barrier with a harness including at least one plate fastener and a closure, wherein the harness wraps and closes around the body of user to apply pressure to the ostomy skin barrier to hold the ostomy skin barrier in place, such that an ostomy bag may be secured to the ostomy skin barrier through the aperture in the support plate. | 12-01-2011 |
